Friday 001

Yes, I know, totally predictable title.

{Today’s Lunchbox} Unplanned

October 13, 2010
Wednesday lunch

The downside of the freezer stash is that it gives you a false sense of security about your lunchbox options.  Last night, I was still feeling under the weather and tired and relaxed after yin yoga and ended up going to sleep early, thinking lunch today would be easy to throw together.  Here is today’s […]

Beans ‘n Kale Salad

October 9, 2010
Bird Egg Beans Dupont Market

March 15, 2011 Update, since making this salad last fall, I have been making it regularly.  Something about the combination of the kale and the beans is just lovely – both indulgent and healthier.  I can no longer find Bird Egg Beans, so have been using cannellini, which require a longer cooking time, but still […]
